Since capacitance C = Q/V, => Q = CV ∴ Qp = 5 x 10\(^{-6}\) x 20 = 100 x 10\(^{-6}\) or 100\muC Qp = 10 x 10\(^{-6}\) x 20 = 200 x 10\(^{-6}\) or 200\muC Correct option 100\muC and 200\muC

As the light enters the dense medium, the shorter wavelengths (blue and violet) bend more than the longer wavelengths (red and orange), resulting in the separation of the light into its component colors. Based on this, the correct representation is: > Ray a represents the red color > Ray b represents the green color > Ray c represents the blue color

Effective resistance in the circuit = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6\Omega Current through the I = \(\frac{E}{(R+r)}\) ∴ I = \(\frac{2}{6}\) => V1 = I x R1 = \(\frac{2}{6}\times\frac{3}{1}\) = 1V = V2 = I x R2 = \(\frac{2}{6}\times\frac{2}{1}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)V ∴ we have 1V and \(\frac{2}{3}\)V

In the provided circuit diagram, the correct position for a fuse is between the "Line" connection and the component labeled "P". The purpose of a fuse is to protect the circuit and the connected device from excessive current flow that could potentially cause damage. By placing the fuse at position P, it will be in series with the "live" or "hot" wire, allowing it to interrupt the circuit if the current exceeds the fuse's rated capacity.

Impedance Z = \(\sqrt{R^2 + X^2}\) = \(\sqrt{(30)^2 + (40)^2}\) ∴ Z = \(\sqrt{2500}\) = 50\(\Omega\) But current I = \(\frac{V}{Z}\) = \(\frac{200}{50}\) = 4.00 A

In general, gases conduct electricity under reduced pressure and high voltage/potential. But from Ohms Law, current is directly proportional to voltage. Thus high current presupposes high voltage.

The phrase "numbed sensitivity" refers to a diminished emotional response or a deadening of the ability to feel or react appropriately to violence due to its frequent portrayal in media. This suggests that constant exposure to violent acts in films and television can desensitise viewers and make violence seem less shocking.

The premise of education in the passage is that good models influence the young. From this, the author builds an argument to suggest what this premise implies—that bad models (like violence on TV) can negatively influence behaviour. Given this, the correct interpretation of what the premise proves in the context of the passage is that violence on television encourages violence in real life. This conclusion is drawn because if good models positively influence the young (the premise), then bad models, such as fantasized violence, likely have a harmful impact, including encouraging violence in real life.

The passage states that "The chance that a black male between the ages of 15 and 19 will be killed by a gun has almost tripled since 1985". This indicates that the number of deaths among this group has significantly increased.

The phrase "the firearms figures are rising" means that the number of teenagers killed by firearms is increasing over time. The passage paints a picture of a troubling trend in firearm-related deaths among teenagers and suggests that there are more deaths now compared to previous years.

The passage cites Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala's description of the statistics regarding teenage gun deaths as "frightening and intolerable." This is a strong emotional response to the statistics and indicates that the situation is both alarming (causing fear or concern) and unbearable (something that is too painful or distressing to accept).

The passage discusses the complexities and puzzling observations regarding the common cold, particularly its transmission and infection theory. It mentions that despite some studies indicating that colds can spread, there are observations (such as those made by the investigator in Holland) that do not fit with the theory of infection. This suggests that the origin of colds and how they spread is not definitively understood.

The passage states that rare diseases are easier to handle compared to common illnesses like the cold because there are not many cases of rare diseases, and all of them have been intensively studied. This suggests that there is a greater amount of research and information available regarding rare diseases, making it easier to understand and deal with them compared to common colds, which are widespread and less understood.

The writer mentions that “some widely held beliefs about the common cold have turned out not to be true,” implying that there are widely held beliefs about the common cold that are not true, or are mistaken (fallacious).

The passage provides evidence supporting that the common cold is indeed infectious, especially in the part describing the experiment at the Common Cold Research Unit in Salisbury. Here, a group was inoculated with secretions from cold sufferers, and seventy-three of them developed colds, as opposed to only one person from the salt-water group. This result supports the idea that the common cold is infectious.
